In Flames — Live at Nova Rock, 2022

In Flames played Nova Rock festival in Nickelsdorf, Austria, on June 11, 2022, delivering a fierce metal set on one of the main stages. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1990, the band rose with "The Jester Race" (1996), and this gig featured material from "Foregone" (2023), then upcoming, alongside their classics. Their sound blends Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte’s heavy guitars, Chris Brostrom’s tight drumming, and melodic touches, crafting melodic death metal with a modern twist. The live show stood out with intense riffs and Fridén’s vocals, shifting from growls to clean lines, showcasing their skill at gripping festival crowds. "Foregone," their fourteenth album, brought back a heavier edge after experimental phases, reinforcing their genre standing. Onstage, the band displayed unity and vigor, boosting the live energy. Nova Rock, a top European rock festival, hosted them outdoors: a warm June evening, bold lighting, and an eager audience set a charged vibe. This performance, part of a pre-release tour, highlighted their knack for blending old hits with fresh tracks. The sound was loud, guitar- and rhythm-driven, and Nickelsdorf’s atmosphere roared to life with their power and drive, leaving a mark on the festival’s history.
